The Dallas Mavericks fired director of player personnel Tony Ronzone after the Mavs organization found more details regarding his involvement in an alleged sexual assault, per ESPN‘s Tim MacMahon.

Last July, Sports Illustrated first reported on a woman who claimed that Ronzone forced himself on her at a Las Vegas hotel in the midst of the annual NBA Summer League in July 2019.

The woman said that Ronzone forced her to do lewd acts after he invited her to his hotel to give tickets to the Summer League games. Ronzone's side also spoke on the issue, with attorney Mark Baute telling Sports Illustrated that the woman's “claims are meritless,” per ESPN.

Looking back, the incident was first brought up when the alleged victim sent an email to Mavs owner Mark Cuban in September 2019. Mavs CEO Cynthia Marshall then oversaw the internal investigation as she was tasked by Cuban to change the culture of the organization after previous reports of inappropriate sexual behavior and misogyny already swirled around the franchise's business operations back in 2018.

According to ESPN, Marshall claimed that Ronzone was still kept at his position last summer because “there was no evidence presented of sexual assault.” Around the same time, the Texas-based squad was still in denial of the issue as it also bashed the report published by Sports Illustrated to be a “one-sided, incomplete and sensational form of journalism, with its inaccuracies, mischaracterization, and omissions,” per ESPN.

However, it now seems new information as come to light implicating Ronzone, so he's no longer with the organization.
